1 WORLD OCEAN CONFERENCE 2009 & CORAL TRIANGLE INITATIVE SUMMIT Presentation at the World Bank Jakarta, 30 Juni 2009

2 70% of the Earth s surface 97% of the Earth s water 80% of our rainfall >1000 times the heat capacity of the atmosphere

3 WORLD OCEAN CONFERENCE 2009 Why indonesia initiate the World Ocean Conference and Coral Triangle Initiative Summit? 3

4 GENERAL VIEW OF INDONESIA More than 60 percent of indonesian people lives along coast line Coastal line of around 95 thousand kilometer Consist of more than 17 thousands islands. 2.5 million hectares of mangrove is underpressure; With the threats of climate may lead to the loss of islands and coastal biodiversity Coral bleaching and ocean acidification. Two-thirds of animal protein consumption comes from fish and fish products. 4

5 WORLD OCEAN CONFERENCE 2009 Date : May 2009 at Grand Kawanua Convention Centre, Manado, North Sulawesi May: Senior Official Meeting 14 May: Ministerial/High Level Meeting Objectives: Adoption of Manado Ocean Declaration (MOD) 5

6 WORLD OCEAN CONFERENCE 2009 SOM and Ministerial/HLM are participated by delegates from 74 countries and 13 IGOs Side Events: Global Ocean Policy Day (GOPD), attended by 500 local and international participants from 65 countries International Symposium, attended by more than 2000 local and international participants from 37 countries discussing more 400 papers and 69 Posters. International Exhibition, displayed 250 exhibitors from local and international participants. 6

7 BACKGROUND UNCLOS To set the Legal Framework But UNCLOS does not address climate change issues that could potentially result on inter alia: Degradation of marine environment Loss of biodiversity Threatened Marine ecosystems Ocean Acidification Sea-level rise Changing weather pattern Long term effect on Food Security and poverty 7

8 BACKGROUND (CONTINUED) Realizing the detrimental effects and importance of climate change, it is crucial for all marine stakeholders to get involve in the discussion process of Climate Change United Nations on Framework of Climate Change Convention (UNFCCC) is the place to bring the Ocean Issues 8

9 BACKGROUND (CONTINUED) At WOC, the global marine stakeholders agreed to discuss the commitments on how to increase the role ocean in reducing the impacts of climate change. Three main interests of states participating at WOC: a. SIDS very concern on Sea-level rise (Indonesia is the largest archipelagic country in the world) b. Tropical developing states on Adaptation measures, food security and livelihood c. Developed states Observing the possibility that the ocean could function as Carbon Sink (need more Research) 9

10 OBJECTIVE OF WOC 2009 To obtain political commitment to bring the ocean issues into climate change negotiation process and to mainstream ocean sensitive policies into climate change process To recognize oceans and coasts provide valuable resources and services to support human populations To recognize the role of the ocean as the component of the global climate system. 10

11 BACKGROUND CONSULTATION PROCESS 1 st National Roundtable Meeting (March 2008) Dissemination of Policy Paper (July 2008) Policy Paper Finalized Aide Memoire 2 nd National Roundtable Meeting (August 2008) First Draft MOD 11

12 International Roundtable Meeting (October 2008) Informal Consultation IOC-UNESCO (February 2009) Informal Consultation UNOG (February 2009) BACKGROUND (CONTINUED) MOD Text Improvement Presentation of MOD at IOC - UNESCO Informal Comments High Level Discussion Environment Ministers at the UNEP Governing Council (February 2009) Support by all UNEP s Member on WOC

13 BACKGROUND (CONTINUED) Informal Consultation Meeting (February 2009) Open-ended small Working Group discussion MOD Text Revised (February 2009) Revised Text MOD distributed SOM - WOC (11 12 May 2009) Final Negotiation of MOD Text 13

14 RESULT FROM WOC 2009 Achievement of political commitment to bring ocean issues into climatechange negotiation process Encourage the UN Secretary General to facilitate cooperation and coordination to address climate change relating to the ocean Agreed upon cooperation for marine scientific research and integrated ocean observation systems 14

15 RESULT (CONTINUED) Stress the need for financial resources and incentives to assist developing countries most vulnerable to climate change. Invite parties to the UNFCCC to consider climate change adaptation project proposals to the Adaptation Fund Board for consideration Recognizing the important of understanding of the impact of climate change on the ocean and the needs to consider ocean dimension to inform adaptation and mitigation strategies. 15

16 SUMMARY OF MOD Commit to long-term conservation, management, and sustainable use of marine living resources; Establish national strategies to sustainably manage marine and coastal ecosystems and enhance their resilience Reduce land- and sea-based pollution; Increase understanding and information exchange on coasts, oceans and climate change, particularly in developing countries;

17 RECOMMENDATION OF GLOBAL OCEAN POLICY DAY (GOPD) FOR UNFCCC PROCESS 17

18 1. MITIGATION A Precautionary Approach to Achieving Reductions in Greenhouse Gas Emissions Properly Regulating Mitigation Efforts Using the Oceans Carbon Capture and Storage. Ocean Sequestration. Ocean Fertilization. Encouraging Ocean-Based Renewable Energy 18

19 2. ADAPTATION Ensuring the Resilience of Coastal and Marine Ecosystems Implementing Adaptation Measures The UNFCCC should further emphasize National Adaptation Programs of Action The shared vision for long-term cooperative action; Post-2012 climate agreement; Technology Development and Transfer. 19

20 3. FINANCING Financing provided by developed countries Research and development to better understand global ocean changes; Implementation of mitigation actions and adaptation strategies; Appropriate monitoring and early warning networks; Promoting carbon offset and CDM; Risk reduction strategies. 20

21 4. CAPACITY DEVELOPMENT AND TECHNOLOGY EXCHANGE The UNFCCC should specifically provide capacity development for adaptation and mitigation in developing nations and SIDS. 21

22 5. CIVIL SOCIETY INVOLVEMENT The UNFCCC should encourage measures, including financial, to inform, educate, and empower the public to mobilize people and communities toward a low-carbon future. 22
